Friday Night Firefight “Boxed Red Wine”

Music is rarely just music. It explores a memory or a feeling in an emotive, untangle form, allowing the experience to find their expression of storytelling, compressing the taste and vibe that simply can’t be achieved in a linear storytelling. “Boxed Red Wine” is the type of song that has a history behind it. It’s nostalgia and memory, the lingering scent that always evokes the drinking years and the people that you still think about. However, it’s a past that you can no longer go back to.

Everyone can tune into this particular feeling at any stage in their life. “Boxed Red Wine” may have been about Friday Night Firefight’s own experience, but it’s thought-provoking enough that it reminds you of something you haven’t been thinking for long. It revisits the wild explorations, the passion and love, drinking cheap wine but it’s simply enough.

Friday Night Firefight captures the sweet yet bitter taste in a night-fused aesthetic. It’s a song you can listen to with your hips with your heart wide open. It rips off the pretense and numbness and connects you with something raw and longing. The expressive, intimate vocal feels like a kiss and whisper hushed into the wind. “Boxed Red Wine” gives a very immediate impression. The lush soundscapes, sweet synth, and sensual guitars that feels like a waterfall. It’s addictive and intense, but at the same time, lighthearted and fun-loving. “Boxed Red Wine” simply has too many different feelings in them.

Their name almost serves as a brand that guarantees a good experience. Their music is sparse and open enough for an atmospheric dance floor experience and strong sensational engagement for contemplation. In their own words, it’s the kind of music you can dance and cry.
